For six months from April 2021 the London Renaissance Seminar can offer free research assistance undertaken by two research assistants to work on Renaissance and early modern projects. The work will be undertaken by two postgraduate Research Assistants generously supported by the CHASE partnership graduate consortium. The graduates are specialists in English literature 1550-1720 but are able to extend to historical briefs.

Speakers will discuss the birthplace of Lady Jane Grey and what recent excavations mean for myth and history; what we can learn from the London parish where her sister worshipped and how we need to look again at the Tudor book trade. Speakers will include Richard Thomas on archaeology, Lou Horton on Mary Grey and Michelle O'Callaghan on writers, books and the book trade. Power and Objects in Portraiture: LRS and Paris Early Modern Seminar Friday 6 December. Note dual location: Birkbeck and National Portrait Gallery Portraits are an extraordinary source of clues to Renaissance life and power. Join us to explore what happens when we put portraits alongside literature, history and things. In this event with our colleagues from Paris, speakers from France, the UK and beyond will explore what portraits tell us about early modern power. Speakers will be drawn from Britain and France. We are at present open for offers to contribute so if you are interested in potentially speaking or participating in a workshop contact s.wiseman@bbk.ac.uk.
